[R] error on R CMD rtags

[Liviu Andronic]

Dear all
I'm getting a strange error when trying to use rtags() to generate
tags in Emacs format.
root at liv-laptop:/usr/lib/R# R CMD rtags -o /usr/local/build/ETAGS
--no-Rd --no-c library/

Tagging R files under library/; writing to /usr/local/build/ETAGS
(overwriting)...

[..]

Error: '\.' is an unrecognized escape in character string starting "[.]*\."
Execution halted
Done

?rtags says that
pattern = "\\.[RrSs]$"

so I don't understand why it would throw up this error. The output
file is empty. Am I doing something wrong?
